Strandzha meditates on the mystical crossroads between socio-historical territories and descends into Eastern Europe’s haunted past through moments of traditional practice, folkloric storytelling and oral histories. Though faced with hardship, locals indulge in the memory of their Thracian ancestors through Bacchanal feasts and nymph-like garb.
